It won’t hurt your ears and doesn’t use a drop of fuel, but it’s projected to
crush the quarter-mile in the low-8-second range at more than 170 mph. For the
first time ever, Ford Performance introduces a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet
factory drag racer with all-electric propulsion.
The battery-powered Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 prototype is purpose-built and
projected to deliver over 1,400 horsepower and over 1,100 ft.-lbs. of instant
torque to demonstrate the capabilities of an electric powertrain in one of the
most demanding race environments.
Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 also honors the original Cobra Jet that first dominated
drag strips in the late 1960s and still is a major force in sportsman drag
racing today.
Ford Performance continues to test Cobra Jet 1400 ahead of its world debut
later this year at a drag racing event where fans, media and competitors alike
will get to meet the race car, as well as see exactly what it’s capable of up
on the asphalt.
Before that, catch a sneak peek starting this Sunday, April 26 by watching
MotorTrend On Demand’s “Hard Cell”, a showcase of electric vehicles pushing
innovation boundaries.
To maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the project, Ford Performance
has teamed up with several capable and specialized suppliers:
• MLe Racecars – Vehicle builder, designer, integrator and tuner
• Watson Engineering – Chassis support and development, roll cage
builder
• AEM EV – Software and motor calibration and controls
• Cascadia – Inverter and Motor supplier
